THIS UNION FLAG WAS RETURNED TO ITS HOMELAND FOLLOWING THE SURRENDER OF THE JAPANESE IN THE FAR EASTERN WAR OF 1941 TO 1945. IT REMAINED HIDDEN FROM THE ENEMY IN THE SIME ROAD INTERNMENT CAMP THROUGHOUT THE OCCUPATION OF SINGAPORE AND WAS SECRETLY USED IN SERVICES OF HOMAGE PAID TO OUR COMRADES WHO DIED FROM WOUNDS AND DISEASE. Presented to the Allestree Branch of the Royal British Legion by Captain T. S. Terry, a member of the Branch and unveiled on 6th June 1977, the Silver Jubilee Year of our Patron, H. M. Queen Elizabeth II by Colonel J. H. Hughes, CBE, O.St.J., TD, MA, MEd, past National Chairman of the Legion and Chairman of the Poppy Appeal.
